About Anticimex

Anticimex is a modern pest control company that is dedicated to safeguarding people, property, and public health. Today, we are one of the top four global players in the pest control market by revenue and a leading digital player based on the number of reported installations of digitally-enabled pest control units.

Our history dates back to 1934, and we have since grown both organically and through acquisitions. Anticimex operates approximately 240 branches across 37 platforms in 21 countries across Europe, Asia, Pacific, North America, and Latin America. We offer pest control services and certain additional complementary services in select markets, including hygiene and building environment services. In Europe, we deliver pest control and building environment services through insurance arrangements.

At the heart of Anticimex are our people and our mutual values of passion, innovation, and trust. We are passionate about what we do and enjoy sharing our knowledge to help others. We embrace new technology, enabling us to offer our customers a more efficient, accommodating and environmentally friendly service and in return give them a competitive advantage. By offering excellent service we build long relationships based on trust and respect.

The pest control market is highly fragmented with significant potential for further consolidation. The industry is further characterized by a range of structural drivers, including increasing pest prevalence due to urbanization, globalization and climate change, a decreasing societal tolerance of pests due to cultural shifts, increased purchasing power, and increasing health and safety regulation. All of these structural growth trends enable our continued expansion through strong organic growth, digitization and acquisitions.

As Anticimex celebrates its 90th anniversary, we look to the future with a continued commitment to providing innovative and preventive pest control solutions. Our vision is to become the global leader in the preventative pest control market.

Anticimex and its affiliates are equal opportunity employers and maintain drug-free workplaces.
